Thread: Dedicated follower of fashion..

  1. #1

    Dedicated follower of fashion..

    I always liked the casual/trendy scene, but could never afford the clobber.
    Pringle jumper (second hand) pair of Lois cords and a pair of Trimm Trabs turned me into a Poundland trendy.
    Sergio Tacchini tracksuit tops were three weeks wages for me Whatever happened to them?
    Any of you lot spent more than you should have on ''gear.''

    Low-cut donkey jacket, slingback wellies and leopard-print codpiece. Set me back a few quid I can tell you.

    I can remember my Dad getting me a donkey jacket for my first day at work. I've never worn anything so itchy to this day. Were they made out of scourer pads?

    Bolwells in Blackwood for a cheap pair of adidas jeans or gazelles, holiday in France raid the chipie shop for jeans or wait for a sale in woodies…I remember spending my entire income support on a pair of jeans and not doing anything at all for two weeks. Idiot

    C-17 was always a favourite of mine, chipie, chevignon, Ball jeans.

    gazelles for me

    Woodies used to take a lot of my money at the time, but you knew others would also be wearing the same, so used to train it down to London and get the odd red or dead shirt

    I regularly spent more than I should have done on gear

    But in terms of footballer clobber a dark navy and light blue Patrick Kagoul was as trendy as I got

    I had a donkey jacket to wear over my school uniform in the 60s. Nice and warm.
    In the early 70s I bought a NATO-surplus greatcoat to wear through my college years, - really warm. Cost a whopping £2.50 IIRC.

    Can never understand this lark of paying stupid prices for gear made in the same sweatshops as places like Primarc and Peacocks

    I never understood fans not wearing a decent coat in dodgy weather just to leave an overpriced sweater on show on a matchday. They'd undoubtedly end up saggy and misshapen, but that didn't matter cos the label was still on show.

    I saw a picture of a Newcastle fan at Liverpool the other day who had sewn a Stone Island badge on to the sleeve of his Newcastle shirt

    I saw a bloke at a party recently wearing a Stone Island jumper. I thought 'he has to be British". Turns out he was from London and a West Ham supporter. I don't think he appreciated me being a Cardiff fan, I think I cramped his style a little as I was able to hold all his stories to account.

    I was a scruffy git then and continue to be one now.

    However, I have always bought good shoes which can be an expensive vice but I have pairs which are decades old but going strong.

    The sales are a blessing in disguise.

    May I ask how much you pay for your shoes?

    I only buy from Barkers as they have a last that suits my feet.
    Full price their shoes retail at £350-450. However, their sales give up to 40% off and even bigger discounts can be had from their seconds store.
    I normally look to pay around the £150 mark.

    Blowing my own trumpet and attempting to show off here I paid $650 for a pair of handmade crocodile shoes but they bite my toes and try to drag me under every time I’m near water

    It was nearly going to be recorded by Herman's Hermits.
